"Marriage of Figaro", remade as a Gene Kelly musical:
Figaro (Gene): With this Count mask, no one will suspect my true motives as I exact my revenge on the Count and reclaim my beautiful Susana!
Susana (Debbie Reynolds, dressed like the Countess, wearing a mask):[To Figaro] Count, darling, you've arrived!
Figaro: [unmasks] Ah haa! So you DO love the Count instead of me!
Susana: [unmasks] Figaro! You don't understand! I thought you were just Cherubino!
Figaro: Cherubino? He's over there, in the mask, pretending to be the Countess!
Countess (Syd Charise): Yes! [unmasks] And here I am, dressed as Susana the chambermaid!
Count (Donald O'Connor): [throws off his own mask] So lemme get this straight:
You were dressed like HER, HE was dressed like ME, I was dressed like HIM ... and then it was her with him with her with him with him with her with her ... [slaps both his own cheeks] oh my achin' head!
[sings]
You like Susana
And I like Susana
You like Contessa
And I like Contessa
Susana! Contessa!
Contessa! Susana!
Let's call the whole thing off!
[Company breaks into dance and song]
